About Goa

Goa, also known as the pearl of the East, is located in the western part of India—the vast coastlines of this vital state stretch along the Arabian Sea. The shades of the Portuguese rule before 1961, especially in the 17th century, can be seen in the Gothic churches and the spice plantations of the tropical area. Goa is known for its pristine beaches, old churches, Portuguese forts, ferry rides, bubbly folk music, coconut groves, etc. Goan annual carnival in February and March attracts many tourists. It is a go-to place for local and foreign tourists during festivities like Diwali, Christmas, and New Year celebrations. December and January are considered the peak seasons to visit Goa and are ideal for any outdoor activities, from trekking and sightseeing to water sports. But off-season, i.e., summer (April-May) or Monsoon (June-September), has attractions for sun and rain lovers. Above all, you’ll be rewarded with fewer tourists and get great deals and offers from Maurya Hotel in Goa.
